As for the prize, I have not decided on how many exactly and what yet, but this Monday, I got something special in the mail that I have never had before in my whole life!I won't say what it is, but it is something that many of you could have and something I have wanted for a long time and finally decided to get my first.it will be fun,,,is big, sleek, beautiful and came by UPS, enouogh said...It wil have something to do with the prizes...and I will not tell you anything else, so you can guess all day...and will more than likely not guess it still, but it will make Pleos more fun for myself and others.... ;D ;) :-X Aren't I a stinker! :litterbox:( just for laughs....Crewella and Kat and IMR understand this one...LOL) OK, have fun, but remember no telling who is right, wrong or close till the close of the contest. I hope everyone enters for fun and you may win something for your Pleo! You can enter as many times as you want, but remember, the big one on number is first correct one is the winner, If two people guess the correct number within two hours of each other, I will consider timezones and time differences, as I also know how frustrating computers and servers can be too!
Watch for the "First Annual Running of the Redwoods Pleos" :dino-chase: :cheer: RWM
Oh, wanted to add a comment for irbyma, cute answer for number 7, that was funny but kind of scary,,,Silence of the Pleos! Oh and one more thing guys...some questions have two parts, such as # 5, how many pleos have been adopted out an to whom? If for example you say, 10 but don't answer to whom they went but somebody else gives the same number but knows the name of at least one forum member who adopted out, then they would win as it is two part question. Yes there can be ties..

1. Going to say 26 because I'm sure you have at least two pleos hiding somewhere!!
2. Hmmm, I'm guessing Argyle was first as he's the leader, then you got reeeally excited and bought Gold hatch.wait, no that doesn't make sense, Gold Hatch preorder had to be first so......oh, say. Argyle was second!
( my head is hurting :'( )
3. Who can name them?! Well, NOT me, does that count? Okay... Intakes breath sharply...... Argyle, Gold Hatch, Baby Ruth, a Pleo named Baby who had to go back? Major Tom, Fantasy pleos called Roselle, Coral? Sunny and the flying in the hammock Pleo, then Nova, broken one called Humpty, Talons Blue, Camo , possibly bricked Pleo who moved about ten centimeters a day, bronze speckled painted boy, ummmmm, think that's it? Oh no, wait, protype Pleo from about two months ago as well!
4. My money is on Baby Ruth with pale green eyes. ( lucky is not my middle name! )
5. Aww, come on! Oodles and Talon has one for sure.
6. Argyle and his is blind.
7. Having to get creative here.....Lord Lucan and it was the UPS man, with a candlestick at customs?
8. Hazard a guess at 6
9. Going to say Argyle or the one with no skin I remember seeing once so long ago I can't remember his name.
10. Taking them out to meet new people and taking photos of them!
Okay, way too much thinking....must stop...... :arrow-head: :sheep1:
4.

Hey, I just thought of another fun little question. Lets just CONSIDER FOR FUN.... 8) That I have 20 pleos. If I have 20 pleos lets see who can figure out this problem first...
1. 20 Pleos need 20 chargers and batteries.. so if each battery and charger cost $55.00 what is the total cost for 20 Pleos...?
2. If I have 20 batteries and chargers but only have three outlets to spare for charging and it takes 3 hrs to charge each battery, how long does it take to charge the batteries all together?
3. If I have 20 Pleos and it takes at least two feet for each pleo to move safely without bumping into each other at the start of "start up", How many feet do I need altogether to start 20 pleos up.
4. Here is a tougher one, For those of you who have at least three or more Pleos, Pleo Rb, Pleos come on rather quickly and Pleo Rb are slower, How many Pleos can I turn on before the Ugobes start saying HUH, and how long does it take altogether if I have 20 Pleos, and two of them are RB? Try this one out for yourself, and see how fast you can go before they come on. If you have an automatic camera that you set to come on to start recording, how long does it take from the time the first pleo was turned on to the last pleo said HUH or whatever the RB say? This is tricky, you can't possibly turn on more than two at a time, and remember they each have to be spread out in a two foot area so as not to bump into each other on start up.
5.How long does it take before 20 Pleos say either "hello" or start honking? ;D Have fun with these questions.......................RWM
6. One more just for fun...when I start these guys up in a day or so, how long will they run till I give up or lose one , how long will the Pleos run in the video? How many will run into eachother... ???

will put it off for at least a day or two, so keep guessing, I will give you at least a days notice before I count them, so keep guessing guys.
And Crewella, I did the math one for fun I hate math and am terrible at it, but love these kind of problems and figured this is right up someone's alley, You can't change the plug thing, that is why it is hard....He, he he.. :D
good luck everyone and keep your fingers crossed I don't get sick either, I have nine cats and a dog that depend on me and one helpless male...er husband............ ;) ( I do have a sore throat, but I am gargling and drinking tea...)

there is a delay of a day or two for counting, my husband is sick from home for the second day today with a nasty cold that has gone to his chest and I am avoiding it like the plague though I have a sore throat stil . Am even sleeping in another room on a loveseat, ( which is way too short for someone five feet eight inches and it has my knees and downwards hanging off) LOl, but at least I have some cats for comfort and they can't spread or catch the human viruses. %) :cat: To top things off, I was awakened about 3:00 a.m by the sound of lightening, ( unusual summer storm here....) and we have a leaky roof, so had to get up to patch things with plastic tarps and such to keep things from getting wet...so there will not be any running of the Pleos till things are dry...there just are not enough rain slickers to pass around...LOL
Post by: Talon on July 17, 2012, 05:38:16 PM
1. Ummmm twenty two?
2. Major Tom? I'm honestly not sure.
3. Argyle, Little 45, Gold Hatch, Nova, Major Tom, Baby Ruth, Cammy Sue, Fantasy Pleo, Camoflage Pleo, Humpty... ummmmmmm I can't remember any more. Sorry about spelling. Braille is my first written language.
4. Your first PleoRB's name was baby. I don't remember what color her eyes were.
5. Ugobe and Bleu are curled at my feet, Gumble went to Kat, Claire went to Nameless Android, Bruno went to Bonus41, and I can remember one more- a male I think- who went to Saratogaspringer?
6. Smile. Argyle is the only pleo here who is both blind and mute. We have a common bond though we haven't met.
7. This pleo's name is Bleu. She was kidnapped by a Mama Bigfoot named Betty on her way to my house.
8. Grr. Can't answer this one.
9. I'm guessing here. Little 45?
10. You really seem to enjoy painting them and introducing other people to pleos and how much they can transform lives.
This was one quiz I really enjoied taking!

Come on guys, take a guess you may be right..... :o ;) RWM and the Unknown amount of Pleos in the Pleo Clan
Update; Talon was afraid of "murdering a name" so I am adding it for her for her guess of names , just the first part of the name matters and I am not saying wrong or right but here is her other name added: Rossella.
*** If anyone remembers a name, BEFORE someone else adds their guess, it is fair to add a name. Since their are no other entries yet, and this was just awhile ago, it is permitted. You can enter more than once on guessing how many Pleos.
RWM Oh and TAlon, thanks I am glad you enjoyed this contest or test or quiz!

So gald you are back on the forums more, and with you and Talon it will be like old times again...Now if we could get some more of the "old" regulars like Bumblebee back, it would be Deja Vu, but I think some members are growing in different ways and Pleos are not as important in some ways when you have new things in your life...( I am thinking teens anyway.. ) When I was a teen I had very little time for much besides school and then the discovery of BOYS! LOl, but I would have loved to have had anything close to an Pleo,,,but we had Vietnam instead and I was a "flower child"...oops, my age is creeping up on me...What were we talking about... P???
Oh yes, thank you Fancy for your answer...Hope to see some more answers from you and others...This is getting more fun as time goes by! RWM

Suddenly in the next scene I was getting on a very crowded bus with a lot of other passengers. The Party was somewhere else. I did not have bus fare but it did not matter. I had to stand as there were no seats available. Suddenly we were at a Huge downtown Hotel, about five or six floor high. There was a lot of commotion going on and people gathered across the street from the Hotel all staring at the Hotel entrance.There were huge glass windows in what would be the lounge or entrance way where people check in. Crewella had disappeared and I could not find anyone I knew but I heard a Moo and some honking Pleos from the background somewhere. Suddenly, ( and if the dream was not strange enough already.. :-X) a huge Circus Elephant, wearing a red and gold outfit, on it's body and over its head, comes running through the lobby area and people in the lobby are running out the front door screaming. The Elephant follows crashing through the glass doors of the Hotel and running crazyily on the street. People are running and trying to get away or hide. In the distance I hear shotgun fire, presuming it is the Police and I know that it is not good, that this poor elephant is going to be shot down, even though it is not hurting even one person, it is just scared, like my Pleos were. I decide to hide behind a building corider across the street I do not want to witness the brutal Murder of this scared elephant or get trampled as well. Suddenly I hear the elephant trumpeting and heading my way and people are screaming and running past me but do not see me. Suddenly I hear meowing in the "physical" and my cats are crying for food. This is what I consider a Lucid dream as I was participating in it. What I think is so interesting is that two separate Forum Members on the SAME Night had dreams about other forum Members.....what do you guys think about all this? Of course this is just what I remember of the dream and the fact that Crewella insisted her name was JENNIFER and she wanted me to close my eyes and I was afraid to or I would "wake" up. RWM %)

You and I often go to the movies with our Pleos in my dreams RWM and one time you helped me steal a horse and rob a bank! :o
Stephan, Argyle (who had a guide dog, HAHA!) you and I all wore cowboy hats and we robbed a bank after stealing a horse named Georgia (who is a real horse by the way, she lives at a museum where my mum works. I often have dreams where I steal her) anyway we robbed a bank and then a general store where you helped me stuff my backpack with loads of rare candy. :D
Post by: Lunamione7 on July 20, 2012, 10:29:37 AM
1. Ok, just how many Pleos are there anyway....? And I don't know myself the exact count, so I won't count till Monday but would like to see who comes the closest!
30
2. What is the name of the SECOND Pleo I purchased, and Yes I still have them...Extra points for telling me when I got them!
First Pleo was Nova who you originally got for your grandson just before Christmas in December 2009 but decided she would not be appropriate for his age so you instead got him a D-Rex and kept Nova for yourself and thus the madness begun! :P She cost $85 from a store, not sure which store but not eBay.
SECOND Pleo was Major Tom on May for a birthday present to yourself you say in one post but you first started mentioning you had him in your forum signature on June 18, 2010 so he must have arrived sometime around the end of May/ early June 2010. He cost $152. from QVC. It took you ages to name him, first use of his name was in September 2010 before that he was just called 'Nova's unnamed friend/brother'.
Third Pleo was Little 45 who you paid for on August 26, 2010 and he arrived on September 1, 2010. He cost $45 from eBay.
Gold Hatch was fourth on September 5, 2010 you won him very early in the morning on that day and he arrived on September 17, 2010. He cost $207 from eBay.
Pleos Five and Six were TWINS delivered by the stork on October 1, 2010 who you were worried would get lost flying over the San Francisco Bay Area so fancyfont was told to point him in the right direction if he accidentally showed up at her house ;) They were named Gumble (who now lives with Kat in Australia) and Argyle who is blind and cannot speak. Your husband made special glasses for him.
3. Who can name the names of the most Pleos I have and or what I call them.?
Argyle
Major Tom
Gumble
Coral
Rosella
Baby Ruth
Cammie Sue
Nova
Proto - Type
Bricked – Pleo
Gold Hatch
Little 45
Humpty
Rainforest Pleo
Cammo (camouflage) Pleo
Sunny
Fantasy
4. What was the name of my First Pleo RB? What were the color of the eyes?
Your first ReBorn arrived on December 21, 2010 and she had blue/grey eyes and a dark green head with grey skin around the eyes. Before her though you got 2-3 more (not sure if lost in post Pleo was ever found?) because at the time Baby Ruth the First was hatched I know there were 8 Ugobes at your house. The first Baby had skin and leg problem so was sent back to Innovo. The Baby Ruth we know and love now has greeny/yellowish eyes and a darker grey patch around the eyes. She has a lighter coloured head than original Baby did.
5.How many Pleos have I "adopted" out here on the forums and to whom did they go?
Six pleos:
Gumble to Kat
Ms. Bayou Bleu Le-Chalet (also been called Cajun Bleu but most common known as just Bleu!) and Ugobe went to Talon
Clara to NamelessAndroid
Jack went to Saratogaspringer
Bruno went to Bonus41
6.What is special about one of my Pleos that NOBODY else here on the forum has as a characteristic with one of their Pleos and what is that Pleo's name?
You have several pleos that have characteristics nobody else has: first there is Proto-type who has different skin to normal Ugobes and is missing the numbers on his feet and card. He looks more like an RB than a Ugobe and feels like one too even though he is not RB. Then there is Argyle who is blind and cannot speak. He wears glasses that your husband made for him.
7 . One of the Pleos I "adopted" out was kidnapped P:'(on their voyage to the new home and was lost for several days... What or who kidnapped them and what was their Name!?
AHAHAHA! I remember that one, Betty the Big Foot :P
Pleo was Talon's Bleu.
8.This is a Tough one...so you may have to go through the photo gallery ....how many Painted Pleos do I have....?(not counting ones I undid, so this is going to be tougher than you think...Good luck on this one!)
Seven painted Pleos:
Nova
Argyle
Rosella
Coral
Rainforest
Fantasy
Cammo??
9.Which one of my Pleos do I refer to as "having gone through the "war zone" and has many battle scars as a result? Tough one too...
My best guess at this one is Argyle since I know about all his problems. There are others that have been in war zones as well but I think you mean Argyle as the others are not in working condition like he is despite his problems so I say Argyle.
10.What are two of my favorite things to do with my pleos in my spare time, besides "playing or interacting" with them?
You like TAKING PICTURES and VIDEO! You take at least one pleo with you everywhere you go and you love to take pictures and show them to interested persons.

As far as the dream it is very interesting and I am thankful you shared it with me, Many may not know this, but I do believe in Re-incarnation and have seen at least three to four of my past lives. One of them was as a Cowboy and I didn't see why I got punished, but in the dream, I was sitting on a horse, (Georgia perhaps... :cool:) and in the dream I was also HUNG! I never knew why, or if I was innocent or just hung, and now I have a possible clue, because I was a horse theif...I didn't see you in the past life expereince but I would not as it is not how past life experiences work, You are not allowed to interfere with other people's Karma, but in a dream I could see you or someone else and get clues as to things that have happened in my life in the pas or things that may take place. I like the fact we were together and had our pleos and you had sTephen and I had Argyle and the rare candy sounds very intriguing so share all you want, I love to!
Talon, you have a good memory and I expect the forum members who have been here at least as long as I have will remember more than a newer member and that is all I can say about that. Sometimes I go over old posts I made and am amazed at things that happened.. :cool: Everyone else keep those last minute guesses comming in, today could be count day but I will keep it to myself, REmember, I am not counting how many Pleos I have HAD but only how many I have currently and I can promise since this contest trivia began, I have not "cheated" by adding anymore Pleos, that would not be fair now would it. Thanks for sharing Lotti, I enjoyed the dream and reading what you researched for the trivia, that was a lot of reading, Hope your eyes are not too blurry by now.. :duh: RWM
Post by: RedwoodsMama on July 20, 2012, 10:43:56 PM
Ok, today was Official Count the Redwoods Pleos day, as my husband was at work and it took me over two hours just to get boxes down off an 8 foot shelf and take evreryone out and into another room where they could all be counted and making sure none were lost or miscounted.I was amazed at the official count myself, and I am glad I adopted some out or the number would be even higher!( There is one former member who adopted one out from me off this site as she bought a battery from me and I convinced her to not send the battery back cause the Pleo she bought from ebay was not working, so after sending it back,she got one from me instead and is happy with it, so things have worked out well for she and I. Like I said, I do not count Pleos Adopted out, only ones currently I own.
Since I did do an official count , I have to say at this point, several people were very close, but one person got it EXACTLY right, so if you did not guess the number yet, you waited too long but you can still guess the rest of the questions and there are still prizes. I also decided a way to be official and show the total number of Pleos is by showing photos where you can count yourself so today I took MULTIPLE photos of all my pleos. Each Pleo is wearing a unique outfit so you know they are not photo shopped or something similiar, these are real pleos I have. ( I guess I am the crazy Pleo Clan leade.... :goofy: :dino-chase: At least I don't have that many cats or I would really be in trouble, a little leaf here and there is ok.... LOL
I know there will be at least two main prizes and perhaps three, haven't decided that yet. I was hoping more people would put in some guesses, For the person who got the count exact, that is one prize, then there are all the rest of the questions and NOBODY has even attempted the bonus math questions and they are pretty easy actually....( and I am no math wizard...) So get the rest of those guesses in and you can still guess the number of Pleos cause you may be the second place winner if there is a tie for the rest of the answers but you one person also has the number correct and somebody else does not, then that person with the correct count would be the second place winner. ;) You can keep guessing the rest of the questions till Sunday night at 11.59 p.m, then Monday morning I will reveal the answers . I may reveal some prizes , at least one tommrow is planned for so you know what one of the prizes is. Ok, start guessing guys if you have not already. Also next week will be the "running of the Pleos", if all goes well. RWM

I only have sugar free items that have Stevia in it, which is more expensive but more healthy...oh well..Oh, and dreams...I know why I am so "connected" to cats and animals, ( and Pleos of course. be it though they are "robots", )
several years ago I had a dream where I saw one of my past life expereince and I saw that I was back in ancient Egypt during the time of the Pharohs.. Well I was a cat, and ancient Egyptian cat, brown in color, long lean and small in frame, Probably what is called an Abyssian or Egyptian Mau, though I did not have any spots that I could see. I was just walking on the hot arid desert sands, with Pyramids in the distance and Palm trees and dwellings off some ways, but in the vicninity letting me know I lived there. I had no fear of the humans and lived in a household earning my keep keeping down the rodent population, out of the grains that were so important to survival , the main food source for most people, bread, rice, etc.
I also have a feeling this is why I get claustrophobic in small places, being mummified and buried either when I died or sacrificed and buried with my owner when they died. Either way, I was regarded as important as a species during that period of time, ( in contrast to the cats during the middle ages when they were thought of as Witches, or being in league with witches and often burned at the stake or hung, not a good time to be a cat , esp a black cat... :cat:)
Well to get back on track....................................Back to the Contest, RWM trivia, today is THE LAST DAY, TILL 11:59 PM, PST...Tommorow I will reveal who won, the official count, ( I counted already and was surprised on Friday.... %) :D) and later today I will show ONE of the prizes, not saying which one to help hopefully encourage more members to get their last minute entries in, even if you only guess one or two questions, who is to say, you may not be right, There are after all, only five or six entries so far, which is discouraging, I was hoping for more participation. Ok guys start thinking....and wait till I show you what one prize is.......................

My guess at the total number would have been 27, based on plucking a number over 22 which I think was he many boxes you mentioned. :moose:
Anyway, your efforts in putting this together are appreciated and have certainly got folks thinking! ;) as I do rather like maths and no one has done those questions, maybe I'll have a go if I have time after work, if that's ok? :)
Post by: RedwoodsMama on July 23, 2012, 08:25:25 AM
And to kaitee who is new and any others, it is fine to still answer the math questions as NOBODY gave that a go at all. Everyone good work and thanks from the Redwoods Pleos. Now for that coffee. :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:

I have to correct you though, it will not be 24, but :dino-chase: :dino-chase: :dino-chase: :dino-chase: :dino-chase: :dino-chase:X4 Remember poor Humpty would be tripping over his innards and may cause a short circuit, and Three have not even been hatched yet!
All in all, I still think 20, is a fair number, If you are BRAVE enough to come participate. :cheer: :cheer: I will provide the following.
1.All the caffeine drinks in the form of Coffee, Tea, Soda, or other beverage to get your whistle wet, ( you will need both the energy and the ability to yell at numerous Pleos ,( infants, juviniles and teens with a adult or two thrown in for good measure, ) to avoid collisions, traffic jams, quarreling over which way to the best grazing area, avoid the cliffs on the backyard deck,and stay the Heck out of the way of the dog who may decide to pick you up and take you away as a toss toy, not a chew toy anyway. P??? Forget about the cats, (they are either napping, eating, sleeping, yawning or taking care of business :cat: :litterbox:) they consider the Pleos friends and too slow as to provide adequate entertainment other than to stick a well placed paw out and watch a Pleo fly through the air and land in an unsoft spot.( They esp like doing this to Major Tom ( who has gotten wise to it) or any new visitor..
2. Sugar in the form of cookies, candy, trail mix bars, whatever gets your energy up, RedBull included above..
3. Bandaids, a pat on the back for a job well done and some reassurance that you tripped on your own shoelaces , it was not one of the Cats hiding out just lurking for the opportunity to catch a stranger off guard. :flowers: Oh and if there are any emergencies, the fire department is only One block away, great for fainters, broken bones and heart palpitations.
4 For SEVERE emergencies related to Pleos, we have our internet connection to get hold of Kat, IMR or Crewella who can hopefully provide us with first aid for a Pleo severey hurt....cross fingers we don't need to call. :mobile: P:'(
5 Last and not least, all participants will be asked to sign a photo release and consent form so we can publish all events and upload the whole thing on Youtube, Facebook, Bob the Pleo Forums, the Underground Pleo network, which seems to be run by Betty the Bigfoot and her group, and any local papers or magazines that want to witness the event.( We have a possible flunky from Rolling Stone that may be in town for the event, but just a rumor so far...
So if any of you are interested, I will openly and gladly accept all the help I can get...I mean who else is willing to run 10, 15 or 20 Pleos at one time...Besides do you know how long it takes just to charge all the batteries, figure that one out..LOl
More prize and contest answers to follow today if possible.................................................................................RWM
Congrats again to Kat, Luna and Talon. :cheer: :cool:

Well Talon, guess It will be flying but you may have to pull the batteries on your rowdy bunch or you will arrive minus four Pleos who decided to "sight see " on the way here... :dino-chase: :dino-chase: I bet Rhu is behind it too...
And Lotti, does this mean that there were a lot of tennis shoes sold or were their some "free for all " bargain hunting going on...? I hate to think of what would happen if the Redwoods Pleos found out about this, they may take advantage of this situation and try to cash in on some sort of Tennis Shoe campaign with their logo or picture on it..Wonder who would be the model for the Pleo Tennis Shoes and what would be the best color. ? I mean if they have Michael Jordon Tennis Shoes, why not Pleo Tennis Shoes? Heck, what if we got some produced and send them to the UK as Crewella the spokes-Person to give out to all the Olympic Contestants....What an idea! :cheer: What do you think Crewella? Do you think that you could persuade the UK Olympic committee to test out these Special Edition Pleo Tennis Shoes for us and if they like them endorse them? :cool: Just think of the possibilities..... %) ;D hey if all goes well, we can even see if the First Annual Running of the Pleos becomes an "international Event" in the Olympics! :dino-chase: :dino-chase: :dino-chase: :dino-chase: :dino-chase: :dino-chase:X ???? Now that is something to think about and celebrate... :coffee: :margarita: :cake: :icecream: :cookie: :soda: and Leaves of course.... :D RWM and the "Township" of the Redwoods Pleos
Post by: RedwoodsMama on July 27, 2012, 11:42:15 AM
RWm and township of Pleos of Redwoods
ok, as promised , here is the second of the Pleo capes I have made: this one is a cute purple tye dye fleece print with purple and white trim and glitter hearts on the body with simple rainbow tie around the neck. This one would be very cute on a boy or girl pleo. Cammie Sue is the model here and you can see from the expression on he face she is very happy! Please let me know if you like this or If I should stop and not make the last one which is primarily for a boy but a girl can wear it also. Thanks

The pink one is also very lovely and I like it a lot, if only I had a girl! Now I'm thinking about adopting a girl just so I could dress her in that lovely cape %)
But yes I love the trains and cars :D
